FOUR FANTASTIC

Today I wanna tell you 4 stories. That’s it. No big deal. These are the stories of the people who dare to be different, dare to make their dreams come true. And these four people always are the best inexhaustible inspiration sources for me to head to my dream.

These people have one thing in common, similar to me. They love travelling. And by many different ways, they tried their best to travel around the world.



1) Hakin

She will introduce herself in this way:

This sister is a Vietnamese professional photographer, a traveler, a famous blogger all rolled into one. She is now well-known because of not only her unique but very beautiful pictures but also her individual style of writing which much expressed her characteristic.

Yes, she’s travelled around the world, got a lot of achievements that she’s very proud at. Her dreams are to become a pro photographer, traveling around Europe, the US and South America. Why don’t we explore her difficult but inspiring journey of how she makes her dream come true in her own words:

 (The writing is in Vietnamese J, if you don’t understand it, I recommend you to use google translate for a general overview, watch her pics and feel her story – a bit hard but I’m sure it’s worth to do that.) 

My remarks: (Medium, Good, Excellent)

• The level of her taking risks: Medium

• creativity in the trip: Excellent

She’s is really an artist who is always full of energy and new ideas. During the trip, she feels the world in her own way, and turn her truly feels into many videos and share them.

And people like them, like her audacity, like her sense of humor, like her stories and especially like her pictures.

It’s nothing wrong to say that an artist is very easy to touch people’s heart. They make people’s life more colorful. Hakin is that kind of person. She inspires everyone.

2) Matt Hadding

This is another story. This guy is from America, and now famous all around the world. Watch his newest video and his story in these links:

My remarks:

• The level of his taking risks: Medium

This guy to me is very lucky. He has sponsorship for his round the world trip. Everything comes from a good idea. His story tells me that there are always chances and unexpectedly good things somewhere around. The most important is you have to believe it and live well enough.

• Creativity in the trip: Medium

• Influence degree in community:Excellent

People do love him. They found his dance so funny. He makes everyone comfortable. He connects people from all around the world to come nearer together by his bad dance. People see they’re dancing and others from many other places in the world are dancing too. The distance in one moment is very close.

• The outcome after the trip: Excellent

Outstanding response from everybody. Again, they like the idea. Simple but interesting.

3) Huyen Chip
This girl who has the same age to me didn’t go to the university as almost of her friends did. After finishing high school, she went to work in Malaysia and started her round the world trip by accident rather than deliberate intention. But the fact that she still continued travelling around the world with not much money in the pocket for about 2 years proves that her success isn’t an accident at all. It costs her maybe one liter of tears to do it.

Let’s click this link for a general understanding about this Vietnamese girl:

My remarks:

• The level of her taking risks:Excellent

One 19-year-old girl goes traveling to Asia, America and Africa by herself. I hardly believe it.
This is the girl who is willing to take risks the most and also the girl who has met a number of accidents, troubles… on the way the most. If we were her, could we continue or just give up. I appreciate her extreme efforts for her goal.

• Creativity in the trip:Medium

• Influence degree in community: Good

Not much until she releases her book with the name as: “Backpack and hit the road” in the next few months. But she’s already been admired by all the Vietnamese traveling lovers.

4) Michael Wigge

This man is all the difference. Being a German reporter, filmmaker and writer also, he’s certainly not so-called poor person. But maybe in one short superficial moment, he striked on a brilliant new idea “What if I travel around the world with zero dollar?” So said so done. He backpacked and hit the road. Have to think creatively in order to get food and shelter, he’s finally travelled to America (North and South) and also been to Antarctica in the period of 150 days. Survive and go travelling in 150 days without money, it’s a fantastic effort.

Not much because this man doesn’t share his story for free. Haha. If you want to know how he traveled with no money, you have to buy his products to understand. I really want to read his story but it’s quite hard and inconvenient for me to buy it from VN.

You can see, these people are very interesting, right?

They dare to dream, dare to do. That’s also a kind of bravery. Brave to be yourself, try hard and make dreams come true.

I also have a dream. You can easily see it when you visit this blog. Dream to travel around the world. Yes, I'd like to follow their steps, head to experience the life outside there. That's the reason I create this blog as a channel for me to share my dreams, share my love to traveling. I consider it as a way that helps me keep the faith up and try to make my dream come true one day.
